ICO and IEO running at same time for same project

[zabir.brutov]

Nothing new, especially nowadays. Project start to collect funds on their website or ICO page, mentioning that it would not be enough, makes a deal with an exchange to attract new customers and doing two sales at the same time.

[r32godzilla]

Yeah, it is possible. I have seen it many times that they manage ICO for few months and for a limited time (few days) they list their initial tokens on the exchange. I saw this type of token sale on BitForex and VinDax.

This is a smart move to me since most projects that run just ICOs are usually considered as scams and no one wants to invest in a project that could probably be a scam. So, I think running both an ICO and an IEO at the same time for project gives it a better shot at succeeding on funding operations as its a diversified sourcing of funds.

But, that is a bigger scam and they have proven themselves to be what people say they are, so if they have a cap of 20 million dollars, they would try to raise 20 million dollars through ICO an also do the same on IEO, even if they felt they can balance it, what if both becomes successful, what would they do with the excess that is on it, me I personally don’t support any project running both together, because it would only make them loose focus because the money would have been too much.

It is only style of harmony that I support, harmony, what harmony project did first was to conduct ICO, which they later abandoned after they were not meeting up and then proceeded to joining IEO to complete it and they never started all over, they started raising the fund where they stopped on ICO.

With the introduction of IEO, there is a great reduction in holding ICO  by the projects.
Even though this is the situation, now a days I have observed that some projects are holding ICO as well as IEO same time. They also don't share the exact amount of funds raised
Isn't it confusing for investors? What are your thoughts? Why projects are using both methods?

Of course with these methods, will the projects that are going to be going well in the future? You are right that it would be confusing, where the project focuses more on the ICO or IEO method. I believe the project is a scam, seen from the project flow is confusing. Always be aware

Usually the project doesn't holding IEO and ICO in same time, IEO first and then ICO later after their IEO sold out.
About the amount of raised funds, we should not investing because high amount of funds already raised.
The important thing is we can verify the project is not scam, then we can invest on the project.

There must be an exception for low tier exchange site that is allowing the IEO platform to raise the funds through its ico platform at the same time. You are taking examples from the big IEO but when you will be trying to take a little ICO and exchange site and then you will see that about that IEO will be running on all of the platforms.
This to encourage the more demands to consider about the launchpad doesn't give enough demand.

As far as I know, projects that run IEO will definitely run ICO or ITO, this situation will be the choice of investors to facilitate potential investors to buy tokens/altcoin from new projects.
for the number of funds obtained from the ICO, I think if the developer gives transparency to community members, they will show Tx in each token purchase transaction, but the reality is not like that, we can see how many tokens have been sold if the new project provides information on the website they have

I think that running ICO and IEO at the same time is not so bad. If project running ICO we have some proof from exchange which choose this project that this coin is eligible and trusted. In the same time we can chose the way who we trust: exchange or project and send our investments by the chosen way.

[comchien]

I think it is not possible for both an ICO and an IEO to take place at the same time for the project, which is difficult, because if a project does not reach the soft cap, they can change the form of IEO. to add capital and extend sales time and may seek new investors from the IEO call.

[DarkIT]

I don't think that doing ICO and IEO at the same time is a good idea. although it is possible, I rarely see it happen. sometimes some projects do ICO first before doing IEO to cover up the deficiencies that have not been achieved at the time of ICO. This was done to convince investors in this project. Yeah, but if I find a project like that, personally I will immediately invest in IEO.

[bitcoinposts]

What i have observed is some ICO when they have collected funds they started to IEO funding as new option to again collect funds i feel suspicious of such projects

[1BTC EQUALS 1CAR]

What I observed is that they stop the ICO then switch to IEO. Care to name which project does both ICO and IEO at the same time? With regards to the not disclosing the total funds raised, almost every project is doing that. It must be because of legal issues.

 


This is also what I know. OP must have been confused that he thought that the ICO of a certain project is still running even when they announced an upcoming IEO. I also saw many projects that have done like this and most of them came from ICOs of 2018 in 3rd/4th quarter where their ICOs took forever  just to raise a softcap/hardcap. So it is very impossible to happen because first of all, ICOs could lead to gas wars and then IEOs are lottery so rich investors will have advantage over this.

Most investors (speculators) do not care how much the project has collected, the main thing is that there is a good profit after listing the token.

Running the project at the same time is actually not the problem, they are free, but where will have problem which i feel that the scammers might even take advantage of is when a project is running both and they don't divide the fund, like for example now, they are to raise money to the tune of $40 million dollars, and then they start the ICO without actually defining the limit for the both and they succeeded in ICO by raising same amount while they also succeed on IEO also, so what should we call that?

I only support them if as they were doing both, they quickly meet up with the hardcap and they stop, then we can say it is really worth it. I have never really seen a project that does this anyway, but i will like to see how it ended for the ones that have tried it.

[Stanlo]

Its not a new thing, few projects tried it out and it worked for them and some scam projects still use it as an advantage to create or lure investors to invest more in their shitcoin, switching from an ICO to IEO fund raising is really not bad at all

[aemma]

I don't think that's the case, maybe you are referring to pre-sale or private sale, before they go for IEO. I have seen many projects which started with ICO this year and along the line moved to IEO, I don't think I have seen any which did both. If they should do such, in my own opinion, then it will look fraudulent and many people might not participate. ICOs already have bad names so many investors are trying to keep their distance as far as possible.

[someone703]

I do not appreciate these projects. They can be scam because doing ICO and IEO at the same time, it is best to choose only one form of fundraising for the project.

[NoirSuccubus]

Many projects nowadays are switching to IEO from ICO. The recent success of IEO and the boom and popularity it has gained over the past two years because of the increasing scamming happening in ICO has many projects to switch over from ICO to IEO. Many new projects that are not scams try their best to adapt to IEO. Not have heard any projects using both ICO and IEO simultaneously.

[upyem2k]

Running the IEO and ICO concurrently is what surprises me. How can that be and how won't the prices and bonuses be different. I think that is a way of manoeuvering the earnings that should go to the exchange based on the amount raised on the platform.
